Sacked doctor sues former employer for refusing to call trans-woman "she"

Once again the mask slips on how you negatively view trans people.

It's not pointless - it makes their newspapers lots of money.

Indeed. And some people here claim they are respectful of trans while labelling them all as unstable.

I understand where you’re coming from in relation to Lia Thomas, but you’re adding criteria now that weren’t in your original question. I would extend the same courtesy to Lia Thomas as I extend to you on the basis that that’s how I know you would prefer to be addressed. You could be a champion national hunt jockey for all I care, and I’d still address you however you prefer to be addressed, in the same way as I would Lia Thomas. Might be some initial confusion if I were ever to meet Rachel Blackmore though -

"I don't feel male or female right now. I don't even feel human," 31-year-old Blackmore told ITV.

Lia Thomas’ win was quickly superseded by another swimmer who is also transgender, and there was a thread started on it here, but I figured that’s just as bad an argument as the initial argument that males have an advantage in women’s sports -

Personally, I detest the sort of witch-hunt public shaming and “concerned citizen” nonsense that social media encourages tbh. It’s a terrible argument in any case because by sheer virtue of their numbers participating in sports - there are more men than women participating in sports. This is likely to always be the case, no matter what policies are introduced or jigged around or anything else. I don’t agree that it’s signposting the end of women’s sports they can win, any more than when women were permitted to participate in sports, it signposted the end of sports men could win. As the defense attorney in the Connecticut case put it (before the case was dismissed and the plaintiffs were unable to find any other examples) -

Defense attorney Joshua Block argued the CIAC policy doesn’t deny any girl a meaningful opportunity to participate in sports, but that overturning it would violate the Title IX rights of transgender girls.

“No court, no agency has ever defined a participation opportunity as winning an equal number of trophies,” he argued.

On the question of evaluating anything inside anyones head, we do it all the time, hell you even made a good stab at evaluating what’s in my head that you think I do or don’t care about or should care about on the basis that I’m a man.

One thing that does concern me is that were I ever to visit America, I probably wouldn’t make it out of JFK Airport alive, or knowing my luck - someone else wouldn’t on the basis that I’d probably use the wrong bathroom and some sweet old dear with notions of keeping America’s women safe, would take a shot at me with a gun, miss by a country mile, killing someone else in the attempt.

”Terribly sorry, I was aiming for the pervert!”

On the question of prisons, well, you’ll have your work cut out intending to get men out of womens prisons seeing as the majority of prison officers in womens prisons are men. It would be unreasonable to suggest that they don’t prioritise the safety of the inmates, it’s part of their job. In saying that, I do recognise, and I agree with Dicky Roche, assistant Governor of Limerick prison -

It is an undisputed observation that female experiences of the prison service contrast starkly with its male counterpart. The structure of the prison is decidedly male-centric, “built by men, for men”, in the words of Dr Richard Roche, assistant governor of Limerick prison.

Prisons were never built with the intention of accommodating women. I’m not even going to get into the statistics with you on the level of inmate-perpetrated violence in women’s prisons, suffice to say the women perpetrate violence against women in womens prisons at greater rates than men perpetrate violence against men. If anyone were to take your argument seriously, then it could easily be argued that men and women should be housed together on the basis of their victims sex - if their victims are girls, put the perpetrator in the male estate. If their victims are boys, put the perpetrators in the female estate. I’m glad I’m not on the board of the Irish Prison Service that has to sort that mess out.

Did you ever follow up on what happened to the victims of Karen White when they were released from prison? One of them at least, has decided that she will become a lawyer -

Good luck to her with Julie Bindel as her mentor - thoroughly unpleasant individual, but I agree with her viewpoints on a few different issues all the same. It’s never necessary to throw the baby out with the bath water.

As for being under the impression that the gender recognition act means that for all purposes that anyone is treated as the opposite sex, well yeah, that’s more or less the wording of it alright, but then depending upon the circumstances there are exemptions in equality legislation which may apply, particularly in relation to as you suggest women’s safety and privacy and so on -

The Equal Status Acts allow people to be treated differently on specific grounds:

Gender 

The Acts allow people to be treated differently on ground of gender in relation to:

• Cosmetic Services, covering cosmetic, aesthetic or similar services which involve physical contact (e.g. hairdressing);
• Privacy/Embarrassment, where embarrassment or breach of privacy could reasonably be expected to happen on account of the presence of a person of another gender.

Gender, age, disability and/or race/nationality 

The Acts allow people to be treated differently on the grounds of age, disability, and/or race/nationality in relation to:

• Sporting events, where the Acts allow people to be treated differently on the basis of their gender, age, disability or nationality in relation to providing or organising sporting facilities or events but only if the differences are reasonably necessary and are relevant;
• Drama and Entertainment, where the Acts allow people to be treated differently on the gender, age, disability or race ground in connection with a dramatic performance or other entertainment but only if the differences are reasonably required for reasons of authenticity, aesthetics, tradition or custom.

Gender 

Single sex schools are allowed. Primary and secondary schools may be boys only or girls only.

Aaaanyway that’s just a small sample of exemptions, more here -

Yes? I thought that much at least was obvious given I support the NCCA policy of non-discrimination against people who are transgender. I got it from your previous post already that if you personally had the authority, you wouldn’t let them compete with women. I didn’t want to be incredibly rude and point out the obvious flaw in your thought processes but, you’re a woman, and because you’re a woman, you’re unlikely to ever be in a position of authority in any sport, let alone have your opinion taken seriously.

Admittedly like this one, ‘twas a verbose response to the many, many issues you raised in your previous post, but if I hadn’t addressed them, then at least you could fairly accuse me of obfuscating and skirting around the many, many issues you raised in your previous post.

It's in the DSM - 5 along with personality disorders.

I've got to laugh, I really do..

"I'm not anti trans, I just like to perpetuate myths and stereotypes based on little more than heresay and gossip"

From your earlier post of course, where you made your points about me not being a woman being told this, that and the other, and suggesting I check my privilege -

It turns out you're not a woman either, you're just full of it 😂
